I told you a few days ago: near the end of this series there’d be a little pay-off for regular visitors to arloandjanis.com. As I remember, this is the first appearance of the Cobra-like sports car that prominently and incongruously appears at the top of this blog. In the strip above and every day on the Web, we are left to wonder, “What is Arlo really like?”

A most Propitious, Blessed and Merry Christmas to all. And to all the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coasties, LEOs, EMS folks, and Fire/Rescue folks (especially the volunteers), I wish you a double measure of same, and give my thanks to you for helping keep us safe on this Holiday of Peace.
I keep reaching for the like button JJ.
thanks Ghost for giving Thanks. Here it is noon and I am about to put on clothes to pot amaryllis after I clean the kitchen and the sink, got most of morning routine done sort of. Breakfast was a Glucerna shake and brie double creme with an unsweet iced tea.
Have six months to get the final 58 pounds off before I sail one of the Saturday Night Special down-up the Texas coast. No way am I doing that with any spare fat. Too many cameras pointed at you.
Did I wish you Feliz Navidad earlier? Oh my, Def Leppard is playing Pour Some Sugar on me. Bath time!
A Christmas miracle. About half an hour ago a large doe came up behind our house. She just stood there looking at the house for several minutes and then turned and slowly walked into the woods.
Merry Christmas to all from warm Chicagoland. Almost warm enough to break out the A&J “T”‘s

Food prepared; meal consumed; leftovers stowed. Praise the Lord for his bounty, and also for Tupperware®.
And it *is* warm enough to break our your favorite “tee” here in the Deep South, Bob. Pushing 80 degrees and very humid locally. Free Christmas Eve Light Show here for part of last evening, then it began to look more like the night Dr. Frankenstein was jump-starting his monster. Possibly some more of the same tonight.
Deaths and much damage from storms in parts of the South, and our county Fire/Rescue has responded to two fully-involved house fires in the last 12 hours, all reminding us once more to be grateful for what we have.
Merry ho hos, and all that.
That facebook picture is a couple years old Jackie. The woman in purple on the left is my mother. This is the last Christmas I spent with her. I was too sick to go the following year, and she passed two months later. She had wanted to come visit in January, but I was having a terrible time with the store I had back then, and didn’t want company; I was too tired and miserable. I honestly have no idea when I had seen my mother last before she went into the hospital. One of many, many regrets. I really don’t mind working Christmas any more; I have a built-in excuse not to be anywhere. This Christmas has been rougher than last year.
Gee, this is depressing. I’ll do better next time. I sincerely hope everyone is right where they want to be, with the people they want to be with.

The mantle has been passed from my late wife to the kids for the food, we’re about to eat. I hope I can keep it together, the morning with the grandkids was a little rough for me without granma
Had bowl of low fat cottage cheese with fresh raspberries and now I really am going to clean my bathroom and change sheets on bed. I am worth it, my new mantra.
It may not be traditional but pulled pork is done and home Apple BBQ sauce is ready for those who want a little extra kick.
I wish we were feeling better. My wife and I both have really nasty colds. I think mine peaked a day of two ago so I am starting to feel a bit better. I don’t think my wife has peaked yet. The worst is yet to come.
No matter. I hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday.
Here’s some funny cats to give you something to laugh at today:http://www.ranker.com/list/cat-nativity-scenes/ashley-reign
Whatever happened to “When you get old, you don’t catch colds, because you’ve already been exposed to and developed a fair amount of immunity to most of the varieties of crud.”?
Oh, wait. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a cold. Does that mean…nah, couldn’t be.
Jackie, changed my bed linens last night (800 TC; yours are probably 1000 TC), had low fat cc with pineapple as late night snack. Beginning to think we are running some kind of parallel life-lines. Except for the part where I like to travel through the air, and you like to travel over the water.
I am not a spring chicken myself. Maybe I can blame the kids in the martial arts class I help teach. Dang little incubators.

Ghost I was hired by both Delta and Continental as srewardii the same week got hired as bunny, had tickets to train, didn’t report. Remember I worked for Flee man and got free flight time and lessons from the flight instructors and air traffic controllers. All I needed was navigation and instruments to be licensed. Commuted in planes from age 6 on, literally. No objection to flying. Flew with Lindbergh. Too young for Wright brothers.
Just had a honey crisps apple and a stuffed bellpepper of 180 calories for dinner. It would make meals simple.
Back to donating communist feminist magazines to a worthy doctor’s office.
Oops, a diversion of life-lines…I don’t believe I have any subscriptions to “communist feminist magazines”. 🙂
One thing I said today that I don’t think I’ve ever said before. “Baby, I think your strawberries slid off.” Favorite present: a throw pillow for the bed with a cat on it that says: “A cat. A purrfect excuse to not make the bed.”
Debbe 😉 The one that says it all. I hope you, along with all the other visitors to the Village, had a wonderful Christmas, hon.

See you again, same time, same place, next year. 🙂
Debbe 😉 On TV, I just heard Jennifer Nettles singing “Silent Night”, accompanied by Lindsey Stirling. Not too shabby, either.
Did anyone else watch Jennifer as Dolly Parton’s mother on tv in “coat of many colors”?
The communist feminist magazines were subscriptions I took out for mama mainly, Good Housekeeping, Rachel Ray, Taste of Home,All of You, National Geographic, Inc.
Kept some Southern Livings, some Real Simple, some Martha Stewart (although that might be the worst), )Birds and Blooms, Smitsonia Health,p Cooking Light.
Boxes and boxes and I am tired and shoulder hurts.
Rats, they are playing my song, Killer Queen.
Merry, our two cats are a double excuse for not making the bed some mornings.
Must make an inquiry on ” communist feminist magazines.” Are we referencing the liberal ones instructing women to birth in the field and return immediately to the harvest. Or, one of the more conservative that teach how to feed an entire commune with a single cabbage.
You are lifting boxes? Wasn’t there something about that in your post-op instructions?
